Irrigation
Pumps from under ground
The cost of irrigation is expensive.
![Page 14: Animal Science 400 Nutrition Management Decision-making: An Intensification Strategy for Beef Cattle Systems in Tizimín, Yucatán, México May 2006 Kotaro.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d385503460f94a11344/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Forage quality
Tropical forage contains a lot of cell walls (Van Soest., 1994)
-High temperature, the length of the day
-High NDF, lignin, low CP
Season is known to have a large effect on NDF, lignin, CP(Licitra et al., 1998)
![Page 15: Animal Science 400 Nutrition Management Decision-making: An Intensification Strategy for Beef Cattle Systems in Tizimín, Yucatán, México May 2006 Kotaro.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d385503460f94a11344/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Reproduction, Calving Interval (CI)
• Brahman in Texas (Browing Jr ,1995)
-one calf per year (12-13 mo)
• Brahman in our study site
-14 month for mature cows
-15-17 mo for 1 st lactation cows
(Magaña et al., 2002)
![Page 16: Animal Science 400 Nutrition Management Decision-making: An Intensification Strategy for Beef Cattle Systems in Tizimín, Yucatán, México May 2006 Kotaro.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d385503460f94a11344/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Problem statement
• seasonal variation in the supply and quality of forage is a primary constraint affecting beef cattle productivity in Tizimín herds.
• Extended Calving interval, economic losses.
![Page 17: Animal Science 400 Nutrition Management Decision-making: An Intensification Strategy for Beef Cattle Systems in Tizimín, Yucatán, México May 2006 Kotaro.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d385503460f94a11344/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Body Condition scoring
• Beef cattle scale 1(Thin)-9(Fat)• Use body reserve for early lactation (high energy
requirement) and when the feed supply is inadequate
• Restore reserve after the energy supply is improved
• These should be included in nutritional management, (Reynoso-Campos., 2003), the amount of the energy for these, is not small in our case and many cases.
![Page 18: Animal Science 400 Nutrition Management Decision-making: An Intensification Strategy for Beef Cattle Systems in Tizimín, Yucatán, México May 2006 Kotaro.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d385503460f94a11344/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Body Condition scoring (continued)
• Strong link between BCS and reproductive performance
• At least the cows need a BCS 5, and 6 for breeding heifers for next calving (Herd et al., 1995)
![Page 19: Animal Science 400 Nutrition Management Decision-making: An Intensification Strategy for Beef Cattle Systems in Tizimín, Yucatán, México May 2006 Kotaro.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d385503460f94a11344/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

What is her BCS?
![Page 21: Animal Science 400 Nutrition Management Decision-making: An Intensification Strategy for Beef Cattle Systems in Tizimín, Yucatán, México May 2006 Kotaro.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d385503460f94a11344/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Problem-solving approach
• The energy intake is low• The postpartum intervals from parturition to the n
adir of negative energy balance were correlated with the number of days from parturition to first ovulation (Canfield and Butler 1989,1990, Beam and Butler, 1997)
• effective reproductive management requires analysis of energy balance and dietary supplementation strategies to replenish catabolized tissue reserves and to shorten CI.
• indicate which season is best for calving, and which season should be avoided for calving.

Objectives of our project
• Determine nutrient requirements and appropriate dietary supplementation strategies throughout the year for key management groups of females to efficiently achieve productivity and reproductive goals
• Management goals include prompt recovery from the postpartum energy balance nadir to allow ovulation and conception to occur, and to assure adequate body tissue reserves over the reproductive cycle to minimize the calving interval
![Page 24: Animal Science 400 Nutrition Management Decision-making: An Intensification Strategy for Beef Cattle Systems in Tizimín, Yucatán, México May 2006 Kotaro.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d385503460f94a11344/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What information is needed?Energy balance throughout the CI
• How can we know the energy balance throughout the calving interval?
• Use the CNCPS as a tool.
(Rueda et al., 2003, Reynoso-Campos et al., 2004, Nherera 2005) in the tropics

Procedures
• Use panel of experts to describe current situation– Describe each group in the beef herd– Describe forage composition available during each
season of the year
• Predict nutrient balances for each group in the herd when consuming forages available during each forage growth season

Analytical framework and preliminary results
The results of the simulation (EB) are combinations of
Energy requirements -Lactation (High especially in the early stage) -Pregnancy( low, but higher in the late stage) -BW or parity (growth rate, and maintenance)
Energy supply -Grass (Season 1 is the best, and Season 4 is the worst)
BCS change -Body tissue mobilization -Body tissue repletion
![Page 34: Animal Science 400 Nutrition Management Decision-making: An Intensification Strategy for Beef Cattle Systems in Tizimín, Yucatán, México May 2006 Kotaro.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d385503460f94a11344/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

• Compare energy balance with and without body tissue contribution (with and without BCS change in each physiological stage)

Simulation 2, Which season is good for calving,
and which season should be avoided?
I do not know exactly yet. More simulations are needed.
To have a calf per year, cows must get pregnant at 75 days after calving (The Brahman’s pregnant period in our study site is 290 d)
Energy Balance -Energy supply is different in seasons -Energy requirement is different in physiological stages
BCS 5, at least needed at calving Prompt recovery is necessary from the postpartum energy balance nadir to allow
ovulation and conception to occur

Simulation 3, with Molasses (M) and Poultry Manure
• Some farmers feed 1 kg of M and PM for cows in the lactation stage, and some cows in the dry season , I am asking Fernando Duarte.
Both are by-product feeds - Molasses CP 4% , Fat 4.2%, Sugar 70% DM -Poultry Manure CP 15.8 %, Fat 0.5%, and Sugar 1.9 % DM (Tedeschi et al., 2002)
M & PM are added for the entire CI to see the difference with and without M & PM

Conclusion of simulation 1, 2 and 3
• The CNCPS predicts the energy balance included the fluxes of the body tissue
• Supplementation strategies would be needed for all the seasons to achieve a 12 mo CI. I can not still indicate the best season for the calving
• Calving Season 4 looks not very good to achieve the 12 mo CI
• Season 4 grass (High NDF and lignin content forage) constraints feed intake.
• In our simulation, molasses and poultry manure help cows in the dry season, but 1 kg of M and PM is insufficient.

Goals for shortening the CI
• Reach nadir as soon as possible after calving.
• Have cows in optimum BCS at calving.
• Need to achieve zero energy balance over the reproductive cycle.
